Legendary Classes
Welcome to Legendary Classes! The next major update for
Legendary Player Characters, a supplement for Dungeons
and Dragons 5th Edition that intends to give rules for buffing
up players so one on one games (1 DM and 1 Player) is much
more possible!
Now of course, let me start by saying the obvious: This
class breaks all typical 5e balancing conventions, it should
not be used in regular play, nor should it be compared to
regular 5e classes.
Legendary classes are meant to make a single player worth
the equivalent of 3 players (Without just tripling damage
output and HP) So it's going to be significantly more
powerful than the regular version of the class.
Why?
Why would you use this? Why would you play D&D with two
people when it's meant for a larger group? There's a myriad of
reasons really, but below are a few good ones.
It's easier to schedule and prepare for, instead of having to
manage the schedules of six different people, you've
reduced that total to two, making it much easier to
arrange sessions for D&D.
This helps with protagonist syndrome... In a normal
campaign, no one player should outshine the others, and
you'll often hear horror stories of players who try to take
the spotlight... In solo games with one player and one DM,
that is not a problem! The singular player can shine as
bright as they want without worry of making other players
feel useless.
It can simply be a lot of fun. I've played solo games a lot
with my partner, and before I began making Legendary
Player Characters, it was... Really difficult to actually run
encounters and make characters without things feeling
really bad, because D&D isn't made for solo play.
Of course as mentioned, there's far more reasons than just
those three. If you don't think you'd like this, then that's
perfectly fine! Solo play isn't for everyone. I personally prefer
it and that's just how I play the game, everyone plays in their
own way.
For anyone else who prefers solo style or is interested in
giving it a try, then this class and the full Legendary Player
Characters document are right up your alley!
Legendary Player
Characters
As mentioned to the left of this text, this is meant as a
supplement for the Legendary Player Characters document.
You can find the links to the full 127 page document below!
Google Drive
Homebrewery
It is not mentioned in the class specifically, but this class
does still use Legendary Actions. Nothing has been changed
about the Legendary Action rules from the LPC document,
and the legendary actions you can choose for this class can
be found at the end of this document!
Encounters
When calculating encounters for a player with this class,
consider them to be equivalent to three characters of the
same level.
I recommend using milestone leveling with this system,
however if you do not and want to use XP, then you should
reward a third of the xp they would normally gain (So they
don't level rapidly)
If the PC is using Auric Emotions or Signs of Labors in
tandem with this class, treat them as three and a half
characters. If they are using both in tandem with this class,
treat them as four characters.
Leveling
Legendary Classes are special, even aside from their
increased power. Their maximum level has been increased
from 20 to 30, and not only that-but every legendary class will
have rules for leveling beyond 30. To an infinite amount.
Again I strongly recommend using milestone leveling, as I
do not have a good experience total required for levels
beyond 20 (Especially once you begin going into 31+)
You can find what features the Legendary class gains for
every level beyond 30 on the same page that their legendary
actions are listed.
Multiclassing
Assume the following for multiclassing:
You may multiclass as normal up to level 30.
Once you hit level 31, you begin receiving the Leveling
Beyond 30 features for your particular class. You do not
receive any features they would receive at an earlier level.
For example, a level 10 Legendary Rogue and level 20
Legendary Sorcerer wouldn't receive Legendary
Sorcerer's 21-30 features when they begin leveling beyond
30, nor would they receive Legendary Rogue's 11-30
features.

Bard Ability Score Bard Modifier

Upon gaining this class, you must select your Bard
Ability Score. This score can be either Intelligence
or Charisma.
If something refers to your Bard Modifier, then that
means it is referring to the modifier of your Bard
Ability Score.
For example if your Bard Ability Score was
Charisma and your Charisma score was 17, your
Bard Modifier would be +3.

Class Features
Your Class gains the following features
Hit Points
Hit Dice: 2d8
Hit Points at 1st Level: 16 + two times your Constitution
modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 2d8 (9) + two times your
Constitution modifier per Bard level after 1st.
Proficiencies
Armor: Light Armor
Weapons: Simple Weapons, 3 Martial Weapons of your
choice
Tools: Three musical instruments of your choice
Saving Throws: Dexterity, Intelligence or Charisma (Choose
1)
Skills: Choose any 3 skills
Spellcasting
Upon choosing this class at 1st level, you can alter the fabric
of reality to your whims and music.
Cantrips
You know 2 cantrips of your choice from the Bard spell list.
You learn additional bard cantrips of your choice at higher
levels, as shown in the cantrips known column in the bard
class table.
Whenever you receive the Ability Score Improvement or
Legendary Ability Score Improvement features, you may
exchange one bard cantrip you know for another.
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
Any simple or martial melee weapon
Any musical instrument
Leather armor and a dagger
(a) A diplomat's pack or (b) An entertainer's pack
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Bard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your Bard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these
Bard spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
You prepare the list of Bard spells that are available for you
to cast, choosing from the Bard spell list. When you do so,
choose a number of Bard spells equal to your Bard modifier +
your Bard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of
a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level Bard, you have four 1st-
level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 16
(And Charisma being your Bard ability score) Your list of
prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in
any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure
wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot.
Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared
spells.
You can also change your list of prepared spells when you
finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Bard spells requires
time spent practicing music or working on some other form
of art: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your
list.
Spellcasting Ability
Your spellcasting ability score is the same as your Bard
modifier; which can be either Intelligence or Charisma.
Intelligence represents someone who studies music and
other artistic forms, while Charisma represents someone
who is a master of these artistic forms.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Bard modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Bard modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a bard spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual
tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a musical instrument as a spellcasting focus for
your bard spells.
Entropy
Additionally at 1st level, your creativity and inspiration allows
you to influence the world in spectacular ways. Exerting this
influence however grants you a resource known as Entropy.
You have something known as your "Entropy Pool" which
starts at 0 and is reset to 0 upon completing a long rest.
Whenever you use an ability that generates entropy, it is
added to your entropy pool.
You are capable of sustaining a certain amount of entropy
without any consequences however, this is known as your
Entropy limit, and it is equal to ten times your level.
For every 10 points of entropy you have beyond your
Entropy Limit, you suffer a -1 penalty to all ability checks,
attack rolls and saving throws you make. This penalty is also
applied to your spell save DC, and any damage or healing
rolls you make for spells you cast.
Sudden Inspiration
Upon gaining Entropy at 1st level, you are capable of using
this feature. As a bonus action, you may regain an expended
spell slot of a level equal to or lower than your proficiency
bonus. If you do so, you gain entropy equal to ten times the
spell slots level.
Semi Proficiencies
Finally at 1st level, you choose a number of skills equal to the
amount you normally get upon choosing your starting class (3
as a Bard) you gain semi proficiency in these skills. Meaning
you add half of your proficiency bonus (Rounded down) to
checks made with them.
Additionally, choose one saving throw you lack proficiency
in. You gain the same bonus to rolls made for that particular
saving throw.
If you ever gain proficiency in a skill or saving throw you
had semi-proficiency in, you may move your semi-proficiency
to a new one of the same type.
You only gain this feature if Bard is the first class you
choose. You can not have two instances of this feature from
separate classes.
Bardic Performances
Upon reaching 2nd level, you are capable of influencing the
world around you with special performances. You start
knowing 2 performances from the options listed later in this
document.
At the start of your turn (No action required) you may
choose to initiate a performance you know. Initiating a new
performance ends any performance you already had ongoing.
You may alternatively choose to end or continue an existing
performance you already had ongoing.
Initiating or continuing a performance generates entropy,
which is known as the performances Entropy Cost. You may
choose to perform in or out of combat, if you are not in
combat, you only generate entropy when you initiate the
performance and for every minute that passes while you are
performing.
Every performance also has something known as their
Presentation, and you cannot initiate or continue a
performance if you don't have its presentation.
Words of Creation
Additionally at 2nd level, you begin to learn the mystical
words of creation. You start knowing two of these words and
learn more as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the
Words Known column of the bard class table. If a word has a
level prerequisite, you must be at least that level in this class
to learn it.
Unlike performances which are passive effects you can
initiate without requiring an action, words of creation are
active effects that require either an action, bonus action or
reaction to use (As detailed in the words description)
When you use a word, it generates entropy, the amount it
generates is listed in the words description.
Finally, many words use something known as your
Creation Die. This die starts as 1d4, and it increases
whenever you gain the Innovation class feature.
Bardic College
Upon reaching 3rd level, you have delved into the advanced
techniques of a bardic college, the options for which are
listed later in the document. Your choice grants you features
now and again at levels 6, 11, 17 and 25.
Muse of an Artist
Additionally at 3rd level, your artistic muse reveals itself in
peculiar ways. You may choose a Combat Trait from the
options listed later in this document. Some features have a
level prerequisite, in order to choose that feature, you must
have at least that many levels in the Wizard class.
Upon reaching the following levels in this class, you may
select an additional Combat Trait that you meet the
prerequisites for: 9th Level, 15th level, 21st level, 27th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th,
24th and 28th level, you can increase one ability score of your
choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your
choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score
above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a
feat.
When you reach 7th level and again at levels 15 and 23, you
gain a Legendary Ability Score Improvement. You may either
gain the benefits of a regular ASI as per the rules up above,
or you may take a Legendary Feat, which are listed in the
Legendary Player Characters document.
Innovation
Upon reaching 5th level, you can improve on even the
fundamentals of creation. Now and again at levels 11, 17, 23
and 29 in this class, you gain the following benefits:
Your Creation Die increases by 1 stage (1d6 at 5th level,
1d8 at 11th level, 1d10 at 17th level, 1d12 at 23rd level,
1d12 at 29th level)
Choose two skills. If you lack proficiency in a chosen skill,
you gain proficiency in it. If you have proficiency in a
chosen skill, you gain expertise in it.
You learn a Bardic Performance of your choice.
Magical Secrets
Beginning at 6th level, you have begin to discover secrets
other casters hide. Choose two spells from any spell list, you
must have a high enough spell slot level to cast the chosen
spells however. These spells become your Secret Spells,
whenever you would cast a Secret Spell, you may gain
entropy equal to ten times the spells level instead of
expending a spell slot.
Your Secret Spells are considered Bard spells for you, and
are always prepared. They do not count against your spells
prepared.
At levels 10, 14, 18 and 26, you may choose two more
Secret Spells (4 total at 10, 6 total at 14, 8 total at 18, and 10
total at 26) You cannot make any epic spells your Secret
Spells.
Entropic Recovery
Starting at 10th level, you are better able to stave off the
entropy you gain. As an action, you may halve the current
amount of Entropy you have (Rounded up) Once you do so,
you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.
At 18th level, you gain a second usage of this feature
between long rests. At 26th level, you gain a third usage of
this feature between long rests.
Creation Affinity
Once you reach 13th level, your affinity with creation evolves.
Choose a Word of Creation you know that generates 5 or less
entropy when you use it. That word no longer generates
entropy when you use it.
At 20th level, you may select a second word to gain this
benefit. At 27th level, you may select a third word to gain this
benefit.
Inspiring Resistance
Once you reach 19th level, you are able to succumb to your
entropy to better persist. When you fail a saving throw, you
can choose to immediately gain 75 Entropy to succeed
instead. You cannot use this feature if you are currently past
your Entropy Limit.
Epic Spell Slots
Upon reaching 21st level, the world of epic magic has been
revealed to you. You gain a single 10th level spell slot, you
receive a second one at 23rd level.
At 25th level you gain a single 11th level spell slot, you
receive a second one at 27th level.
Finally at 29th level, you gain a single 12th level spell slot.
Epic Magic and You
Despite gaining 10th level and beyond spell slots,
you do not learn these spells naturally. Epic magic
spells can only be learned through DM rewards and
should be treated as if you are receiving a magic
item or gold.
The full rules for Epic Magic can be found in the
full Legendary Player Characters 3.0 Document.
Signature Performance
At 22nd level, you have trained a performance to pure
perfection. Choose a Bardic Performance you know, you may
now continue that performance without gaining its entropy
cost (Although you are still required to spend its cost when
initiating the performance)
Greatest Performer
Finally at 30th level, you are a truly legendary performer. You
gain the following benefits:
You may have as many performances active at a time as
you wish, provided each performance has a different
presentation.
When you use Inspiring Resistance, you only gain 50
Entropy, instead of 75.
Your proficiency bonus increases by 1, to a total of 10.
College of Glamour
Bards of this college admire beauty and its spectacles, by
studying the feywild and emulating its mystifying nature,
these bards achieve a level of beauty and grace impossible by
mortal standards.
Mantle of Inspiration
When you choose this college at 3rd level, you are capable of
inspiring your allies. As a bonus action, you may choose a
number of creatures within 60-feet of you that you can see up
to your Bard modifier (Minimum of 1)
Each target (Which may include yourself) gains temporary
hit points equal to three times your proficiency bonus and
may immediately use their reaction to move up to half their
speed without provoking attacks of opportunity.
If you only target yourself with this feature, you do not need
to use your reaction to move, and you may move up to your
full speed.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your
Bard modifier (Minimum of you) You regain all expended
uses upon completing a long rest. If you have no uses
remaining for this feature, you may gain 20 entropy to use it
anyway. You cannot do this if you are at your Entropy Limit.
Feywild Influence
Additionally at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the
Performance skill. If you already have this proficiency, you
instead gain expertise. Additionally, you have advantage on
saving throws against the Charmed condition and can't be
put to sleep by magical means. If you already have advantage
on saving throws against being Charmed, you are instead
immune to the Charmed condition.
Majestic Decree
Beginning at 6th level, it's hard to resist your beauty. As a
bonus action, you may cast the Command spell without
expending a spell slot. Using your bonus action to cast
command in this way does not limit your ability to use your
action to cast spells.
You may cast command in this way a number of times
equal to your Bard modifier (Minimum of 1) You regain all
expended uses upon completing a long rest.
True Mantle
At 11th level, you are able to wield your mantle more
effectively. You may now use Mantle of Inspiration at the end
of another creatures turn by expending a legendary action. If
you do so, the temporary hit points it grants are halved
(Rounded down) and it does not expend any of your usages.
You can only use this ability once per round.
Unbreakable Majesty
Once you reach 17th level, your form takes on an ethereal
and lovely visage. When a creature attempts to attack you,
you can force it to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed
saving throw, they become unable to attack you, and must
choose a new target or waste their attack. That creature
cannot target you for attacks until the start of its next turn.
On a successful save, the creature can attack you as
normal, and they become immune to this effect until they
complete a long rest.
Unearthly Beauty
Finally at 25th level, your form can be lethal to behold. If a
creature starts its turn and can see you, you may inflict one of
the following effects on them:
The creature automatically fails any Perception check it
makes, unless it is being made to find you.
The creature has disadvantage on any Intelligence,
Wisdom and Charisma saving throws you force it to make.
If the creature has a CR or Level of 1 or less, they
instantly die.
A creature can avert their eyes to avoid this effect, if it does
so, it is considered blinded against you. If they look at you in
the meantime, they are immediately subjected to an effect of
your choice.
College of Lore
Bards of this college are lorekeepers, they know at least a
little bit about most things. They seek new knowledge and
they seek to make sure the truth is known, it is rare to find a
lore bard who willingly keeps knowledge from people.
Bardic Mastery
Upon choosing this college at 3rd level, you have developed
your skills even further. Choose three skills. If you lack
proficiency in a chosen skill, you gain proficiency in it. If you
have proficiency in a chosen skill, you gain expertise in it.
You also learn one language of your choice and gain
proficiency in one tool of your choice.
Jack of All Trades
Additionally at 3rd level, you gain the Jack of All Trades
combat trait, and it does not count against your combat traits
known. For reference, this is what the combat trait does:
When you make an ability check that does not include your
proficiency bonus, you may add half your proficiency bonus
(Rounded down) to the check.
Even More Magic
At 6th level, you are even more magically adept than other
bards. Whenever you learn a spell from your Magical Secrets
feature (Levels 6, 10, 14, 18 and 26) you learn an additional
spell (For three total at each level, instead of two)
Jack of All Saves
Once you reach 11th level, your 'skilled at all' persona grows.
Your Jack of All Trades feature now applies to saving throws
as well.
Bardic Determination
Beginning at 17th level, it's hard for you to fail when you put
your mind to it. When you make an ability check or saving
throw, you can add your Creation Die to the rolls result,
potentially changing the outcome. You may do so after you
see the roll, but before you know whether you succeed or not.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your
Bard modifier (Minimum of 1) You regain all expended uses
upon completing a long rest.
Master of All
Finally at 25th level, you are a true master of skills. You may
now apply Jack of All Trades to an ability check or saving
throw even if that roll already includes your proficiency
bonus.
College of Steel
Combat can be used for far more than just bloodshed... It can
be used for Art! Bards of this college recognize this. These
bards are skilled weapon wielders who put on dazzling
performances using their weapons, showcasing a level of
mastery and grace that few other bards can compare to.
Martial Mastery
Upon choosing this college at 3rd level, you have begun to
emulate the skills of fighters. You learn three maneuvers of
your choice from the Fighter class and have three mastery

however you can only apply one maneuver per attack. To use
a maneuver, you must expend a mastery die and roll it. You
regain all expended mastery die upon completing a short or
long rest.
If a maneuver has a DC, the DC is equal to 8 + Your
Strength or Dexterity mod (Your Choice) + Your proficiency
bonus.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may exchange
one maneuver you know for another. All other rules can be
found in the full Legendary Fighter class document.
Finally, whenever you gain a feature from this subclass
(Levels 6, 11, 17 and 25) You gain an additional mastery die
and learn another maneuver of your choice.
Steel Dancer
Additionally at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium
armor and all martial melee weapons. You may use melee
weapons you are proficient in as a spellcasting focus for your
Bard spells.
Additionally, whenever you would learn a combat trait from
your Muse of an Artist feature, you may instead select a
combat trait from the options available to a fighter. If the trait
refers to your fighter level in any way, you instead use your
Bard level.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. You may
substitute one of these attacks for casting a cantrip you know.
Upon reaching 17th level, the number of attacks you can
make is increased to 3.
Growing Mastery

11th level, it becomes 1d8. At 17th level, it becomes 1d10.
Finally at 25th level, it becomes 1d12.

to regain combat expertise. As a bonus action, you may gain
15 entropy to regain an expended mastery die.
Always Masterful
Finally at 25th level, your techniques are always present.
When you would use a maneuver as apart of a weapon attack
(Whether it be on hit or some other aspect of the attack)
Instead of expending a mastery die, you may use 1d4 and
treat it as if it were your mastery die for that specific
maneuver.
Fighter Class
For ease of access, below you can find the links to
the Legendary Fighter class which contains all of
the maneuvers you may choose!

College of Valor
Bards of this college are archetypal skalds. They commit
themselves to furthering their martial prowess, but they don't
require fancy techniques with their weapons... All they need
is steel and music.
Song of War
Upon choosing this college at 3rd level, you learn the song of
war. Whenever you would initiate a performance, you can
instead initiate this. You are unable to initiate it if you are
incapable of speech, and it immediately ends if you cannot
speak.
While performing your song of war, you gain the following
benefits:
You have resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing
and slashing damage.
You may add your Bard modifier (Minimum of 1) to all
Strength and Dexterity ability checks you make.
You may add half your Bard modifier (Minimum of 1,
rounded down) to the damage rolls of your weapon
attacks.
Your song of war does not generate entropy, and there is no
limit to the amount of time it can be active. Initiating a
performance other than your song of war immediately ends
your song of war.
Mighty Proficiencies
Additionally at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in medium
armor, heavy armor, shields and martial weapons.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. You may
substitute one of these attacks for casting a cantrip you know.
Upon reaching 17th level, the number of attacks you can
make is increased to 3.
Intense Song
Beginning at 11th level, your thirst for war grows. The
damage resistance from your Song of War now also works
against magical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
Additionally, while your Song of War is active, you now add
half your Bard modifier (Minimum of 1, rounded down) to
your weapon attack rolls.
Beat of War
Finally at 25th level, the beat of war thrums within you. You
are considered to always be under the effects of your Song of
War, even if you have another performance active.
Additionally, if you used your action to take the attack
action, you may immediately use your bonus action to make
an additional attack.
College of Whispers
Bards of this college are nefarious infiltrators, using the good
reputation of bards in order to slip into places they'd
otherwise by unable to. Often serving as assassins or spies,
these bards are incredibly dangerous to have around.
Everlasting Blades
Once you reach 17th level, your strikes no longer dampen
your creativity. You may now use Psychic Blades as many
times as you wish between long rests, no longer requiring

Legendary Actions
Here you will find the Legendary actions that only a Bard of
the appropriate level can learn (If a Bard specific Legendary
action requires 2 actions, you must be a level 11 Bard to
know it for example)
Swift Words
Cost: 1 Legendary Action
You use a Word of Creation you know that requires a bonus
action to use.
True Speech
Cost: 3 Legendary Actions
You use a Word of Creation you know that requires an
action to use.
Unpredictable Show
Cost: 2 Legendary Actions
You initiate a performance you know. If you are already
doing a performance, that one ends. You gain the entropy as
appropriate when entering this performance.
If you continue this performance at the start of your next
turn, you do not gain any additional entropy however.
Leveling Beyond 30
Here you can find what the Legendary Bard gains
for every level beyond 30 they are! It is intentional
that their proficiency bonus stops increasing.
Every 4 levels beyond 30 (34, 38, ect) a
legendary bard gains a regular ASI.
Every third ASI a legendary bard would gain
after level 30 (42, 54, 66 ect) is instead a
legendary ASI.
Every level you gain 2 Musical Essence.
Whenever you would expend a Bard spell slot of
9th level or lower, you may instead expend an
equal amount of Musical Essence. You recover
all Musical Essence upon completing a long
rest.
Every even level (32, 34, 36, 38 ect) you gain a
+1 to one ability score of your choice.
Your HP increases as per normal.
Your new ability score maximums for Dexterity,
Intelligence and Charisma is equal to your Bard
level if they were not already higher.
